Not bad.

The course needs to update renovate and fix there restrooms. It would be more beneficial to use the woods than try to use their restrooms.

Bacon Park 7/12

This was the 3rd time I have played this course.

Firstly the gentleman that checked us in was rude and abrupt. He couldn’t even be bothered to give us time to order drinks and the course was fairly empty.

We could see that the first 3 holes were clear but by the time my partner and I had got to hole 5 we had caught up with a SIX ball!

They were taking around 25 minutes per hole!

We will not return.

Over priced

They punched the greens less than a week and are charging full rate. Should be discounted.

Poor shape

Course wasn’t being taken of like in the past, fairways were dry, some greens were in bad shape. I like the course setup, it just needs some better maintenance before I show up again, including the clubhouse needs updating from the 80’s!

Pace of play was the condemning factor. That and the green quality.

Course Needs Serious Work - Very Friendly Staff

I have never left a review before, but after playing this course last week I felt I should in hopes to save a few fellow golfers some money.

I am in Savannah for the summer and decided to play here because it is close to where I am staying. I will not be going back.

The greens were absolutely terrible, not bad as in patchy, too long of grass, or dead grass, but completely unplayable. Don't get me wrong, I am no scratch golfer, I am usually mid-high 80s, but there were many holes where I picked up my ball anywhere within 30ft of the pin, because it wasn't worth putting.

Large chunks of greens missing, and replaced with poorly grown/maintained grass, long stretches of green with virtually no grass - completely dead and burned up were the main factors as to why the greens were so bad.

The course layout really is not bad at all, with proper maintenence I think it would be a very fun course, I am hoping this review will help to make some changes going forward.

I don't like being negative like this but in this case I felt it was necessary. The few staff I talked to at the beginning of my round were very kind, and seemed like good people, but the condition of the course was absolutely brutal. Would not recommend unless you are a VERY high handicapper and want to avoid going to a decent course for whatever reason.

Horrendous greens. Nice staff. She called me beautiful.

Course not worth the price if they aren’t improving the course.

Greens were really bad but course was ok otherwise.

People behind us were hitting into us twice and when we told them to yell "four" to warn us, the guy just shrugged it off as no big deal. Don't think we would play it agian....maybe....
